Building a Community of Designers, Thinkers & Leaders

Baker-Butler Elementary School (BBES) strives to reach and to challenge every student, every day. Our mission is to build a strong community of students, teachers, parents, and community partners and to prepare our students to be lifelong learners. Our goal is for our students to be designers, thinkers and leaders who can be flexible and creative problem solvers. We support students across all traditional academic subjects, as well as in the arts, music, and physical fitness.
